Thin spam with inedible rice - Spam Masubi
Lucky L.

Worst rice I've ever had in my life ... mushy on the outside and crunchy in the middle - not edible. I don't even know how you can mess rice up this bad ! I can't support a restaurant that doesn't quality check the one side dish that is essential to 95% of their dishes offered. Masubi also had the rice and a very very thin slice of spam. I don't recommend this restaurant.

BBQ Chicken mini meal
Constance O.

Extremely delicious food! I ordered the BBQ chicken mini meal and my husband ordered the spam musubi. It took a minute to get but that's because everything is made to order (my husband even said the musubi was too hot and had to wait for it to cool down). It was extremely delicious and exactly what we needed for our little beach picnic :) One star was lost because the inside of the restaurant seemed a little bit dirty and maybe needs a bit of an update!

Catching up with good friends at Aloha BBQ.

My first time into Aloha BBQ and it won't be my last. I tried the spam musubi and chicken platter. Wow! The smoked spam went perfect with the sticky rice. The chicken cutlet was light, moist, and flavorful. Next time I'll try the fish.

First had Zoe's back in 2015 at a birthday party they catered and I've been hooked ever since. I've…read moretried plenty of Hawaiian BBQ spots over the years and honestly nothing comes close. My go to is always the teriyaki chicken with all rice. The flavor on their chicken is ridiculously good. I don't even order teriyaki chicken anywhere else because nothing compares. Truthfully, I didn't even like teriyaki chicken until I had it from Zoe's. I also love the inside of the restaurant. It feels like you've stepped into a little spot on the Hawaiian islands. The two sisters are always there and they always remember your name, which makes every visit feel personal. On the weekends they even have a husband and wife performing live music while you eat, and it adds so much to the atmosphere. Oh, and don't sleep on the burgers. Most people come for the Hawaiian plates, but their burgers are seriously underrated too.

Zoe's is by far my favorite Hawaiian BBQ place on the Central Coast. The meat tastes fresh and is…read moremade to order. I usually get the garlic fried chicken, which is crispy and perfectly paired with spicy mayo. The small plate comes with a scoop of rice and macaroni salad. For me, the macaroni salad is S tier. It's creamy, but not in a heavy "just mayo" way. It's light and flavorful. The staff is always friendly and helpful when I place catering orders, and they have our food ready in a timely manner. The kitchen in the back looks very clean, and being able to watch them grill the meat shows they know what they're doing. Definitely a must try for lunch, dinner, or any of your catering needs!

I have no idea how this place has more than 2 stars. I have…read moretwo littles and decided to stop by on our way home rather than go to the other side of town to our usual spot. At first impression I should have known- it was lunch time and empty- you have to self order and navigate their kiosk- no help with two kids and still ask for a tip. There was one younger girl with dark hair in the cluttered kitchen/drink area who didn't even acknowledge us- just went to the back and started rummaging. A second lady showed up and started preparing our sushi order. At that point I noticed the dirty tables and lack of service so decided to change my order "to go." I stood there trying to get their attention and was finally acknowledged. The lady who seemed to be in charge was handing out cash to another younger lady who came in (weird asf too). I finally get my order and bring it home. The nigiri was poorly cut- but edible. My poke bowl had a small amount of tuna that tasted sour and has signs of cooking through citrus, imitation crab, and seaweed salad (extra cost), then I see a whole romaine end, browning and cut up under that making the bulk of the bowl, followed by rice. Nothing like the picture at the kiosk. Then as I try to mix things up for a bite (I am starving at this point) I see a dark black hair. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed and unable to eat my food. I called to let them know and the younger lady who was there said she would let the owner know after sitting down and looking at all the food that was wasted. I decided to call back and ask for a refund. At that point, the younger lady kept repeating what I was saying, as she was relaying the information to what sounded like to be the owner. She told her to tell me that I needed to go back with the food. I let her know that I was unable to do that right now as I had two little kids who needed to nap- that's why I came home. She said she couldn't do a refund- until I went there with the food and my card. I was also told to refrigerate this food- are they going to use it?!? Smh. Ultimately I am out $40, and no lunch. I will never return or recommend to anyone. I'm thinking the reviews are for the teas- which I didn't try.

The table was covered with trash and crumbs even though a male worker was sitting there obviously on a break not sure why he didn't clean the table 1st The sushi cooks seemed very busy and didn't make much contact so we used the kiosk easy enough to order our food I stood outside to wait since the dining room was so unwelcoming the Boba tea was regular price but very small for the price. The food was overcook. The rice was soft and soggy and unseasoned Avocado was over ripe and mushy. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Check out "sake" sushi instead.

This is a really good place to get an oak smoked steak right off of their Santa Maria Grill. The…read morefood here is good, and I absolutely love the taste of the oak that screams Central Coast. (If you sit in the middle of the easternmost dining room you'll have a great view of it.) I've had numerous steaks, their pork chops, lamb, and quail and it's all delicious. Right now I am absolutely in love with their duck. It's really good. The wines here are great as well. They make their own wines, and specialize in Pinot (their Big Circle Syrah is pretty good too). They really care about their wines and it's very apparent in their taste. The service here is excellent as well. This is an amazing place that we make sure to visit every time we're in town.

The lunch specials were reasonably priced; however, they do not offer a children's menu, so our 6 year old got a plain cheeseburger for $18. It was nothing special, but for a small child, it was not worth the price. We also ordered the grilled artichoke. I was most excited for this, but at $19 it was underwhelming. The artichoke was small, so the heart was even smaller. The dipping sauce paired with the artichoke was great, and I am not typically a creamy sauce person. Our oldest son loved the ribs lunch special. I like my french fries crispy, and they were perfectly crisp. My fiance and I shared the steak and fries meal, and unfortunately, the star of our meal was the french fries. Lunch is self-serveish. You order at the register, and the food it brought to your table. Water is self serve at the bar and wine offerings (including tastings) are at the bar. I likely won't be back for the food, but the outdoor setting is great for a glass of wine or tasting. They offer a full pinot noir tasting. If we weren't heading home right after lunch, I would have tried that, but will definitely save for next time.

The restaurant is located right next to the train station, and they had a dedicated carpark, but it also seemed like street parking was readily available nearby as well. The outdoor dining area was pleasant and had heaters available. Once we arrived, we were seated promptly and brought menus and water. They also kindly brought water for our dog, even without us asking them for it. We shared two appetizers, including the ceviche and tostada. Both were excellent, fresh and full of flavor. For mains, I got the misoyaki butterfish, while my husband had the bouillabaisse. I was jealous that he decided to order this because I don't like ordering the same main as someone else I'm dining with, but the jealousy dissipated once I got the butterfish. It was coated in a sweet teriyaki sauce which it paired wonderfully with, and the texture was pleasant and soft. It was served atop a bed of wild rice and greens. The bouillabaisse was also superb. It's hard to imagine that their other main dishes are better than these two, though I'm sure they're also great. We couldn't go past the lime and coconut creme brulee for dessert. Both of us couldn't get enough of this. Our waitress was very nice and efficient. We had everything we needed and never needed to flag her down for anything. Someone else, perhaps the owner, came out and asked us how our meal was while we were eating which was a nice touch. I'd recommend this as a must-visit if you're in the Pismo Beach area.
